Book Review : The Big Book of Animal Stories by Spandan Pal of class VIII

Author- Ruskin Bond. Published by- Rupa publications India Private limited. This book has 4 sections : To see a tiger, Exciting encounters, Visitors from the forest and Poems. This book is very interesting as it contains many wonderful animal and birds stories. All of them are full of adventures. In the 1st section, there are stories about a panther or a Tiger or a leopard. They are the man-eaters, as described in the stories. But they have been either killed or sent far away by people. And how these happened, have been very excitingly described in the stories. In the 2nd section, there are several funny and interesting stories about many different animals. There are stories about keeping unusual animals like snakes etc. as pets also. In the 3rd section, there are stories about emotional and knowledge-giving stories about animals and humans interactions. They are all very interesting. In the 4th section, there are beautiful poems about animals, birds and insects. All the poems are written very nicely. My opinion:- I suggest that everyone should definitely read this book because it contains many delightful and wonderful stories, very much enjoyable for us. This book will also help us develop a sense of how people live in remote villages near forests. By – Spandan Pal , Class-8, K.V. NERIST, Nirjuli, Arunachal Pradesh .
